Description

SYSTEM AND PROCEDURE FOR MANAGING THE PROCESS OF
VERIFICATION OF THE SAFETY OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
Technical Field
This invention refers to the system and the procedure for process management and inspection of food and agricultural products safety by using latest infonnation communication technologies (ICT) and sensor and actuation devices of the latest generation known as the Internet of Things (IoT). The invention can be classified as belonging to the area of electric digital data processing. In more detail, the finding is a combines input-output device for user-computer interaction, as well as devices for data processing, especially customized for specific purposes, in this case, agriculture. Additionally, the finding can be classified as customized system for payment management. The labels as per International Classification of the patent are H04L 29/00, G06F 3/01 , G06F 17/00 and G06O 20/00.
Technical issue
Technical issue tackled by the invention is: how to construct an information system including a sub-system of device network known as Internet of Things to accomplish: management, process and protocol control for food and agricultural products safety, as well as monitoring and diagnostics of status of agricultural production areas and retroactive influence to production area. The constructed system, in accordance with the invention, shall enable collection of services provided and targeted advertising.
Background Art Each year the European Union spends almost half of its budget for a Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). This includes an inspection whether the food production is in accordance with numerous protocols for safety of food such as those regulated by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO). This inspection from the start to the end of the defined procedure can include, for example, agricultural producers that apply their production for phyto sanitary inspection, phyto sanitary inspectors that sample soil/plants on the fields, authorized laboratories analyzing samples and accounting staff collecting the services provided. Systems for soil status monitoring are rudimentary and with no connection to advanced ICT platforms, feedback between the ICT platforms and intervention systems in the field does not exist.
The same goes for the veterinary domain that is, inspection of health and care of animals, food and agricultural products trade over borders and other domains of food and agricultural products safety inspection such as food and agricultural products in trade and sales inspection. Currently these procedures include a lot of inefficient manual administrative labor with paper subject to errors that, in addition to huge material damage, can cause irreparable damage to human health, health of animals, crops and biodiversity and eco system on a global level.
Previous knowledge and practice in this area is limited and the existing one is insufficiently and inadequately available to enable effective management of analysis and protocol processing from the beginning to the end of the process and based on results histoiy from previous years be used for automatic or semi automatic creation and providing expert advice, recommendation and rules to agricultural producers and laboratory staff. Previous statement is based on the fact that even in the most economically developed countries of the world the exchange of data on analysis results and contagion found is reduced to Word document and Excel spread sheets exchange - through e-mail. Data from the data source to the final destination are often retyped manually several times from one format to another with strong error possibilities with immeasurable consequences for the human health and the environment. Global data analysis, such as contagion distribution analysis is processed manually and is subject to errors.
Rare is the case of sensor systems that use sensors to monitor soil status in real time and intervene at the request of advanced information communication technologies (ICT) and computer platforms directly to the soil not only with bio chemical means but with physical interface. There are no sensors and actuators based on the meta material that in real time, in the field detect unwanted biogens and intervene physically with advanced wave interfaces.
Rare service advisory programs that exist require manual input of data on analysis for they are separated from the process of collecting and processing by laboratory analysis. Additionally, the cost of using such systems is incomparable to its efficiency and benefit. The fact that annual license, subscription or single access for using such programs is fixed and high, that is, it does not depend on the fact how much is the program used in reality leads to a large number of small and medium farms and agricultural products and food producers deprived for the option of using them, which is why a large number of agricultural surfaces, crops, agricultural products and food is constantly on the edge of the risk regarding phyto sanitary safety. The presence of such risk or the inability of its efficient prediction, control and elimination is registered by the financial market and capital market and this is the main reason that the food industry and agricultural industry, in addition to huge, global demand that is constantly over the offer, still has significant government subsidies and financing of the agricultural industry from public funds.
In the Chinese application of the patent CN 102339427(A) published on February 1 st 2012 a system of electronic recording is described for agricultural products aimed for basic data management on these products and their circulation. This system uses the finished product as its starting point and does not refer to the soil status from which the product originates, interventions on this soil during production, etc.
Chinese application of the patent CN 102542346(A) published on July Is' 2012 describes a system for agricultural product market monitoring and early warning and is intended for the supply chain participants. Disclosure of Invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a system and procedure that links all participants in the process of planning, preparing, production, control, transport, trade or sales of food and agricultural products, securing complete efficiency in monitoring the status of the soil, interventions on the soil during production, collecting and exchange date, safety and integrity of the data shared, quality and diversity of analysis, conclusions and recommendations received from data analysis and availability of all relevant data and analysis to participants in this chain and other interested subjects.
Aforementioned purpose of the invention is secured by the management system and process control system and protocol for food and agricultural product safety inspection by applying information and telecommunication equipment and devices, included in a central information system comprised from one or a number of linked servers, containing a central or physically distributed data base, expert digital advice sub-system and portal for mobile computer devices and PCs connecting to the central information system and producing an integral part of the process and protocol control management system, where the central infomiation system is also connected to the payment gateway and the system with the network of sensor and actuator devices monitoring geographic, physical, chemical and biological vectors of status of all included land parcels.
Also, the purpose of this finding is accomplished by securing the procedure for system usage that starts by submitting a request by the agricultural producer, state body or some other applicant, one or a number of them, or by the sanitary, phyto sanitaiy, veterinary or border inspectors that access the system in a proper manner, where such procedure shall be described in detail below.

The term "computer device" includes the desktop device, mobile telephone (including SMART phone), tablet computers, laptop, notebook, netbook as well dedicated mobile and other devices. The users log to the central information system Fl .IS using their user ID and password depending on their role (producer, inspector, reception staff in the laboratory, experts in the laboratory, accounting staff in the laboratory and others), gain access to the system functions according to their roles. Computer device Fl .CDP includes the feature of automatic or manual data input on geographic location, for example, by integrated or added GPS module as well as photos and video content by integrated or added camera. GPS or functionally similar system is used by the inspectors for determining and recording geographic coordinates of the sampling location. Camera is used by the inspector for imagery/recording situations on the field in case this is included in protocol. Photos and audio/video material can contain additional meta data including information on geographic micro location and micro conditions of recording (illumination, camera orientation and similar). Also, the camera or another type of reader (scanner for example) is used for fast access to sample information from the central data base by scanning the QR or other type of code printed on the label on the sample, instead of, error prone, manual entering of the sample identification number. Using communication interface (for example, GPRS protocol) the computer device F l .CDP communicates with the central information system F l .IS with special, secure communication protocols F1 .B3, F1.P4, F 1 .P5, F 1.P5G, F1 .P5L, F l .PPT using standard communication interface such as bluetooth, wi-fi, GPRS, USB interface and others.

The user logs to the central information system F l .IS using the user ID and the password. Then the system returns the software application user's function/role in the system limiting the software application on presenting the user only those functions that are set for this role.
Additional equipment for the computer device F l .CDP includes a mobile printer for label printing for marking samples on the field by the inspectors. Printer is able to print QR codes and other types of codes, and an option to print a logo of the institution inspecting. Additional equipment also includes different types of devices for measurement and detection on the field such as soil acidity measurement sensor, electronic reader of chemical contagion detectors and such. Additional equipment is connected to the computer device Fl .CDP by standard interface such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB and others. Special security communication protocols F1.B3, F 1 .P4, F1.P5, F1.P5G, F1.P5L, Fl .PPT for the computer device Fl .CDP are the mediators between the software application on the computer device Fl .IS and the functions of the central information system Fl .IS. As we have mentioned, the simplest implementation is using HTTP(S) protocol but other protocols can be used as well. Special security communication protocols F1.B3, F1.P4, F1.P5, F1.P5G, F1.P5L, Fl .PPT for the computer device Fl .CDP on each request of the computer device Fl .CDP for access to the central information system Fl .IS, in addition to other items, check whether the required function is allowed for the user. If the request is not allowed to the user, the system records an alarm in the security log and forwards the notification on it to relevant person/department. Central information system Fl .IS includes the accounting sub-system monitoring the collection of services of inspection and laboratory analysis provided. When the analysis of the sample by the laboratory staff is over, it becomes ready for invoicing. Invoicing is automatic in accordance with invoicing parameters. Each completed analysis Fl .SRPT can be invoiced separately in the moment of completion. Also, it is possible to invoice a group of several analysis in accordance with schedule defined (for example, per day, per week, two week, or monthly). Invoices F l .INV are sent by e-mail, mobile application or other form of electronic communication to the producers or other application Fl .USR with payment instructions. When the payment is received Fl .PCNF for the number of this invoice, digitally signed analysis results - certificates Fl .CRT are sent by e-mail, mobile application of other form of electronic communication to the user or other applicant Fl .USR as well as others recipients as set in the protocol of the certificate such as, Ministry of Agriculture or Customs Fl .DBM.
Central information system Fl .IS includes an advertising sub-system Fl .AD that is the additional source of revenue for all system users based on the principle of so-called profit sharing. Due to the nature of the users' and their method of communication with the system, there is a lot of data on them and they can select an option of presenting targeted advertising on their computer screen. Thus, if the system is accessed by the potato producer and if certain pests are found on its land, the computer screen of the named potato producer shall include the advertising for potato protection with data on the product for this specific type of pests. When not used for commercial purposes on in parallel with them, this sub-system can be used as the sub-system for education, training and information for the agricultural producers by sending and presenting education messages with information and data in manner aforementioned.
Advanced sensor Fl .IOTSS and actuator sub-system Fl .IOTAC as shown in Image 2 monitors geographic, meteorological, physical, chemical and biological vectors of status of all land parcels and an unlimited number of individual micro-locations on the same, connected to the platform using Fl .HCS protocol sending it in real time over the communication channel Fl .IOTCC into the central information system F l .IS. Central information system Fl .IS sends instructions to the actuator sub-system in real time Fl .IOTAC in order to influence the soil with bio chemistry, physically or mechanically and/or through specific meta material module Fl .IOTMM or through the influence of the applicant Fl .USR or inspector Fl .OFC. As mentioned before the process in accordance with this invention is started by the user Fl .USR or inspector Fl .OFC.
Agricultural producers, animal farmers and food producers or other applicants Fl .USR submit their requests Fl .APF using the computer device F l .CDP for soil inspection, plant inspection, animal inspection or food inspection through specially defined, secure communication protocol F1.B3 recorded in the central information system Fl .IS. If this is their first request ever, they enter their identification data such as name, contact, selected user ID (or e-mail), password and similar. If they have a user profile on the central information system Fl .IS, they just log using the existing user ID and password. Then data on the analysis/control that is to be performed are entered. If it is, for example, land or a field that was previously (in previous years) analyzed, then merely a request for new analysis is entered. Otherwise, identification data for the land/field is entered (location, cadastre number, surface, type of soil, name of the parcel and similar) and the request for the first analysis including the identification of the given plant culture that is planted or planned to be planted on the given parcel. Entering the parcel data can be performed manually (all requested data) or by entering the cadastre number of the parcel while other data would be automatically downloaded from the Geographic Information System (GIS - electronic cadastre) if this is technically possible and if such a system is available. The status of the new request F l .APF is "submitted". If the land/field was not previously analyzed it is possible that the installed expert digital advice system Fl .Esx, Fl .ESy, Fl .Esn reacts in the moment and provide advice or create a request. Therefore, if the historic data show that certain plant has been growing for some time on this land/field, expert digital advice system Fl .Esx, Fl .ESy, Fl .Esn can demand crop rotation, that is, planting of another plant as the standard method of terminating pests on the terrain in which certain plant was grown for an extended period of time.
Inspectors Fl .OFC, using the computer device Fl .CDP search in the central data base Fl .DB information on the newly received requests F l .AFP and, optionally using the map software such as Google Geographic Information System (GIS) that is widely used, produce a sampling plan by loading into their computer device Fl .CDP information on planned land/fields. Alternatively the central information system FI TS, using prior defined algorithm creates an electronic message with notification - notification F1.ACK1 ) to a certain inspector Fl .OFC that new request Fl .APF was created for his area of responsibility for sampling and analysis where, within the message/notification all necessary details are provided regarding date, time and location of the sampling as well as the recommendation of the central information system Fl .IS on the most optimal route of movement or schedule of parcel visiting and sampling. Then, samples are taken on planned locations. In accordance with the protocol, using the application on the computer device Fl .CDP geographic and micro location coordinates are taken for locations of sampling, and, if protocol regulates such action, photos and other characteristics of the terrain are taken, and are sent to the central data base Fl .DB. Using the mobile device and/or printer that is connected to the computer device Fl .CDP the inspector Fl .OFC prints the label and/or assigns the digital code in another manner (QR, BarCode, RF) for sample marking used for the sample taken Fl .SMPL. Sample Fl .SMPL is placed in appropriate packaging on which label is attached to. Sample Fl .SMPL is sent to an authorized laboratory Fl .LAB. Request status of Fl .AFP for the analysis becomes "sampled" status of the sample Fl .SMPL becomes "sent" and the data on time of sampling and user name of the inspector (digital signature) with other relevant information is located into the central data base Fl .DB.
When the sample Fl .SMPL arrives into the authorized laboratory the staff on the reception department Fl .LABOFC registers the reception of the sample Fl .SMPL using camera or other type of a reader installed or connected to their computer device Fl .CDP and scan the QR code or another type of code. Status of the request Fl .AFP for analysis in the central data base Fl .DB and the status of the sample Fl .SMPL becomes "sample received" Fl .SRCV and the time of reception and the user name of the staff on the reception with other relevant data is entered into the central data base Fl .DB.
Experts Fl .LABEXP of the authorized laboratory Fl .LAB based on the notification F1.S4PR take the received sample Fl .SMPL and execute the required analysis. This staff Fl .LABEXP accesses data on sample F l .SMPL in the central data base Fl .DB using its computer device Fl .CDP to scan the QR code or another type of code and load to its computer device Fl .CDP allowed information on sample Fl .SMPL such as the type of analysis, for example. In accordance with the protocol the laboratory staff Fl .LABEXP has no access to information on the origin/location of the sample in order to avoid conflict of interest and corruption. Experts Fl .LABEXP can require advice from the Expert Digital Advice System Fl .Esx, Fl .ESy, Fl .Esn taking into consideration previous and latest analysis and latest findings in this area. Optional advice is charged additionally. Upon analysis completed, experts Fl .LABEXP use the computer device Fl .CDP to enter analysis results Fl .SRPT into the central data base Fl .DB, the status of the request becomes "processed" and the status of the sample Fl .SMPL becomes "analyzed". As in previous steps, time of analysis completion is automatically entered into the central of physically distributed data base Fl .DB, the user name of the experts Fl .LABEXP performing the analysis and other relevant data.
Upon the completion of the analysis, the request Fl .APF is ready for invoicing or collection. Depending on the configuration of the system, sample Fl .SMPL that was just analyzed can be invoiced separately or with delay with the group of other samples of the same producer in set time intervals (for example, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly). Based on the report of Fl .SRPT analysis the financial department of the laboratory Fl .ACCPS generates an invoice Fl .INV where the invoice number is entered into the analysis request Fl .APF and the time of invoicing. The invoice Fl .INV with payment instructions with digitally signed e-mail or in other format is sent to the producer and/or other person/institution that pays for the inspection Fl .USR by electronic means, the status of the request Fl .APF becomes "invoiced" and the status of the sample Fl .SMPL becomes "analyzed". Accounting staff Fl .ACCPS monitors the reception of payments Fl .PRQ. Upon the reception of the payment Fl .PCNF for the issued invoice Fl .INV, digitally signed document (certificate) Fl .CRT with analysis results is sent by e-mail or otherwise to the producer and/or other persons F l .USR as set by protocol, by electronic means, the status of the request F.1APF becomes "collected" and the status of the sample Fl .SMPL becomes "report delivered". As in previous steps the time of completion and user name of the accounting staff closing the request, as well as other relevant data are entered into the central data base Fl .DB.
Sensor sub-system F l .IOT significantly contributes to permanent improvement through machine learning of expert modules Fl .Esx, Fl .ESy, F l .Esn by continuous delivery of data on macro and micro location status of relevant parameters in the field and in real time. Meta material sensor module delivers marked values of biogen on an unlimited number of micro locations on the parcel in real time so that expert modules Fl .Esx, Fl .ESy, Fl .Esn and comparing those with current results of analysis of laboratory Fl .LAB, the Fl .DB additionally learns.
If the configuration of the system allows, the analysis results are sent to a higher hierarchy level such as national, regional or EU level. In this manner, there is a global control of the health status of food production, information is collected in the fastest and most secure way and used in the most efficient way. System operation services are charged to the authorized laboratory. Management and process control system and protocol for food and agricultural products safety inspection using information and telecommunication technology and devices that is the subject of this paper can provide services for an unlimited number of laboratories irrelevant on the fact they are located in one or several countries on the same or different continents.
